Return of Beyond the Palin 0

Will Bunch is fed up with the political-entertainment complex. A bit from his article:

This morning, I was flattered to be a guess on WHYY’s “Radio Times,” talking about the growing competition between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton over on the Democratic side; interest in the election is high — there were a lot of callers and online commenters. The last one was excited by the possibility of Trump-Sanders debate in the fall…wouldn’t that be entertaining?! Probably, but — and call me old-fashioned — there are times when it’s good NOT to be entertained. The creeping quasi-fascism of Trump Palin World is one such time. They are nothing more than high plains grifters, wooing the American Heartland with their ugly charisma for fun and profit, but especially profit.

There may come a day, a couple of years from now, when our national parks are ringed with oil wells and America is embroiled in a war in the Middle East that’s even more pointless than the wars that came before it, when all the laughter will die in sorrow and folks will wonder what the hell just happened.

Also, be sure to read Jim Wright’s take. Here’s a bit from it:

Sarah Palin’s Donald Trump endorsement speech was all those things and more. So very much more. Confused, unfocused, paranoid, war-mongering, grandiose, spiteful, jam-packed with bizarre metaphors and digressions, bombastic, bellicose, pandering, full of folksy phrases and made up words … and mad as a goddamned hatter.

Sarah Palin’s Donald Trump endorsement speech was in fact a brilliant summation of the modern GOP.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
